Chapter 1272 - The Pool of Life

Chapter 1272 – The Pool of Life

“There are factions in the Ziling Zone that dare to make an enemy of the Life Sacred Land?” Zhao Feng voiced the shock in his mind.

The Life Sacred Land was the overlord faction of the Ziling Zone. Just which faction did the killer of the Eye of Life descendants belong to that he dared to oppose the Life Sacred Land?

Even if they belonged to some other Sacred Land, the other Sacred Land would never make such an obvious challenge. A war between Sacred Lands was no minor matter.

“This matter still needs more investigation. We still can’t be sure who did it, but don’t believe that a God Realm Sacred Land is the strongest faction in a zone,” Liu Kai shook his head and solemnly warned.

“What do you mean?” Zhao Feng was stunned.

Sacred Lands were the overlord factions of their respective zones. Could there be factions even stronger than Sacred Lands?

“The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods is incomparably vast, and there are innumerable factions hiding in the shadows. Some of these factions have far surpassed the level of five-star factions and have reached the level of God Realm Sacred Lands….” Liu Kai continued.

Zhao Feng nodded. This wasn’t difficult to understand.

Any world would have powerful factions that lurked in the shadows and were unknown to the common people. How could a place as large as the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods not have such factions?

But what was truly shocking was that one of these secret factions could actually develop to a scale on par with a Sacred Land.

Zhao Feng and Han Ning’er followed Liu Kai through a special path. After going through layers of inspection, they smoothly entered the Life Sacred Land.

 The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is comparable to the core area of the Spiritual Race, and this place is also thick with vitality. The Spiritual Race can’t even compare in that aspect!  Zhao Feng mentally sighed.

If he had been born in an environment like this, influenced by this land from the moment of his birth, then his constitution, vitality, and other aspects would be far above normal people. When Zhao Feng was initially refining his body, if he had cultivated in as superb a place as the Life Sacred Land, he would have refined his body dozens of times faster with dozens of times the effect.

“Mm? This energy…?” Liu Kai’s expression flickered in surprise as he turned to Han Ning’er.

The Life energy of the world was surging into her eyes. A pure Life energy was then exuded by her eyes, seemingly capable of bringing the dead back to life.

“This is… the Eye of Life!?” Liu Kai blurted out in shock.

Although the Life Sacred Land was the final home of all the descendants of the Eye of Life, the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes were not as numerous as one might imagine. Even a descendant of the Eye of Life was an extremely rare existence in the Life Sacred Land.

 The thickness of her bloodline is changing!  Zhao Feng saw everything through his left eye.

In the Gulong Zone, Han Ning’er was only a disciple of an ordinary four-and-a-half-star faction. Her bloodline had only just awakened and had still not been developed. But now, mere moments after stepping into the Life Sacred Land, the thickness of her Eye of Life bloodline began to transform.

It appeared that this journey wasn’t in vain. This place was undoubtedly the ideal place for Han Ning’er.

“Zhao Feng, she is…?” Liu Kai finally asked.

“My friend,” Zhao Feng simply replied.

Liu Kai’s face froze. Zhao Feng was a Spiritual Race core disciple, and this girl had come together with him to the Life Sacred Land, meaning that their relationship was definitely not normal. In other words, there was a high chance that this girl was already a disciple of the Spiritual Race.

He couldn’t help but sigh at the Spiritual Race’s recent spell of luck.

“Let’s go, up there!” Liu Kai said.

Zhao Feng and Han Ning’er looked up.

The vast tree’s canopy blotted out the sun, transforming the sky into a sea of jade green. Many palaces and pavilions of various sizes had been built on the enormous tree, and there were many pools, rivers, and waterfalls flowing through it.

The higher one flew, the more concentrated the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi became while the number of buildings decreased.

In front of a certain vast green palace, a group of nearly ten people was gathered. One of them was a youth that Zhao Feng knew: Xiahou Wu.

“He’s Zhao Feng?” A man dressed in an imperial golden robe turned with searing eyes toward Zhao Feng.

This was the strongest Quasi-God prodigy of the Life Sacred Land, Quasi-God Guan Long.

Originally, he was the most dazzling prodigy of the Ziling Zone, comparable to the geniuses of the other Sacred Lands. But then, some Zhao Feng had popped out from the Spiritual Race and directly attained Rank Six, thus surmounting his reputation.

“He truly is at Rank Six, though it’s hard to say if he really managed to get there in one go.” Quite a few young disciples in the group cast doubtful gazes at Zhao Feng.

Besides the youths in the group, there were three Elders of unfathomable cultivation.

“Junior Zhao Feng pays respects to the seniors of the Sacred Land!” Zhao Feng ignored the doubtful gazes of the youths and looked at the three Elders.

At this time, the three Elders were examining Zhao Feng with sharp and gleaming eyes as if hoping to see through him entirely.

“For the Spiritual Race to take in a person like you is truly a matter to be envious about.” A wrinkled elder dressed in silver-gray robes stroked his beard and smiled.

“Senior praises me too much,” Zhao Feng politely said.

“Xiahou Wu, take Zhao Feng and his friend to tour the Life Sacred Land,” the wrinkled elder gently said.

“Yes, Master!” Xiahou Wu respectfully said and then stepped forward.

“Zhao Feng, let me show you around the Life Sacred Land.”

Xiahou Wu had a rather friendly attitude, but when he spoke the words “Life Sacred Land,” he couldn’t help but inadvertently reveal a little pride in his voice.

Once Zhao Feng’s group left, the wrinkled Elder stated, “I tell you all with absolute certainty that Zhao Feng directly attained Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm!”

These words made the young disciples’ faces twist into unsightly grimaces.

There were Quasi-Gods, True Gods, and even a few Ancient Gods among them. They were the strongest prodigies of the Life Sacred Land, but all of them had to lower their heads at this moment.

“Damn!” Quasi-God Guan Long managed to restrain himself to just this one word.

Originally, he had been planning to breakthrough into the Heavenly Divine Realm soon, but now, he wanted to compete a little and try for Rank Six to regain some of his honor.

…

Guided by Xiahou Wu, Zhao Feng and Han Ning’er slowly toured through the opulent and gorgeous Life Sacred Land, which seemed like some enormous work of supreme art.

“Eh? The vitality here is even thicker!” Zhao Feng was surprised.

“Mm. The eastern part of the Life Sacred Land is for cultivation and living while the western part is for growing plants and other cultivation resources,” Xiahou Wu said with a smile.

The spiritual herbs of the Life Sacred Land were famous in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods for their high quality. What were rare and precious plants in the outside world were abundant in the Life Sacred Land.

Xiahou Wu took Zhao Feng through a few of the spirit herb regions, and he even took Zhao Feng to see one of the areas where truly precious plants were being grown.

Even Zhao Feng could only recognize a few of the innumerable precious herbs being grown there. As for the doctor Han Ning’er, she had been unbearably excited throughout the entire tour, her dark green eyes glimmering as she closely examined her surroundings.

“A Sacred Land truly is a wonderful place.” Zhao Feng emotionally sighed.

This place had herbs of almost every kind and shape. In addition, it had a far greater quantity than anywhere else. It was also home to many Soul-type plants that were quite rare in the outside world.

“Zhao Feng, I’ll take you to a good place!” Xiahou Wu suddenly said.

Xiahou Wu led the two of them through a rather winding route before they finally arrived at a large building formed from vines and trees. A powerful array stood guard around it. Inside the building, green portals of light could be found on the walls, each of them supported by many tree branches.

Zhao Feng could tell at a glance that each of these green portals was connected to an independent dimension.

“Let’s go into that one.” Xiahou Wu pointed to a portal of a somewhat darker shade of green.

 Swish!

The three arrived in a strange Little World made of plants. This independent dimension was very small, and it was possible to see its boundaries with a single glance.

In front of them was a pool of water formed from mud and vines. A fragrant green liquid floated in this pool. One glance was enough to see that this liquid was extremely valuable.

“This is a Pool of Life. Go in and try it out!” Xiahou Wu smiled.

 Thump!

Zhao Feng jumped in.

In an instant, Zhao Feng felt like every cell in his body had been awakened and was doing its utmost to absorb the Life energy in this liquid. Every part of his body was recovering to its peak state.

It didn’t take long before Zhao Feng felt that the level of his vitality had risen.

“This Pool of Life is a cultivation ground created by the Life Sacred Land. If a Life Sacred Land disciple wants to bathe in this pool one time, they would need to accumulate several years’ worth of contributions. The Pool of Life you’re bathing in is for Rank Seven Ancient Gods. It will be of enormous benefit to you!” Xiahou Wu stood on the side and explained.

“Many thanks!” Zhao Feng naturally understood how precious this Pool of Life was.

In that building earlier, there wasn’t even one hundred of those green portals. The Life Sacred Land had countless disciples, but there were less than one hundred Pools of Life, and they were each targeted at different levels of cultivation.

Many of the portals were a darker shade of green, indicating that there was no disciple inside. Of course, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to go in, but that the price was far too great for them to afford.

And yet, at this time, an outsider like Zhao Feng could soak in a Pool of Life meant for a Rank Seven Ancient God.

“You can soak in a Pool of Life for three days each visit. You have to cherish this period of time. I’ll take your friend to look at other areas.”

After saying this, Xiahou Wu took Han Ning’er and left.

“A good place! I can’t let this chance go!” Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.

He had just become a Rank Seven Ancient God, and his cultivation was unsteady in many aspects. As for Rank Eight, that was still extremely far away.

Now that he had a chance to soak in a Pool of Life, he could use the opportunity to raise his vitality and also cultivate his Earth and Wood Intents.

 Buzz! Bzzz!

Zhao Feng half-closed his eyes, and Earth and Wood Intent energy began to rise from his body to fill this dimension.

He had taken a massive leap by directly attaining Rank Seven of the Heavenly Divine Realm, so his various Intents still had a lot of space to improve.

“In these three days, I have to at least bring my Earth and Wood Intents to the peak of Level Four!”

As Zhao Feng muttered to himself, he took out several Intent Crystals to help himself cultivate.

…

Three days later, Zhao Feng was surrounded by a half-transparent, thin fog of yellow and green. The mud and trees around him slightly swayed, and there were even some flowers budding.

Suddenly, Zhao Feng’s bright eyes opened.

“With the help of the Pool of Life, my Wood and Earth Intents were able to smoothly reach the peak of Level Four.” Zhao Feng gleefully chuckled.

His vitality had also received a significant boost.

At this moment, Xiahou Wu and Han Ning’er suddenly appeared in this dimension.

“Zhao Feng, the Elders of the Life Sacred Land wish to speak with you!”
